BSA rebranded itself “Scouting America.” The new name initializes to “SA,” common shorthand for sexual assault.

Well, as a german and history conscious person I think the acronym could also be taken in a completely different way.

More important context are current BSA youth and incoming generations of BSA Scout parents.

To them, SA = sexual assault.

Obviously they should have called it Scouting States.
